Ambitious Pastor Leaves Wealthy Fifth Avenue Church
New York March 20. The Fifth Avenue Baptist Church may lose its pastor Rev. Charles F. Aked after four years. Once hoping to fund a grand new building and extended church work, he faulted in turnout and moved on to find a more receptive field. Also reports on vivisection battles, a new women’s group for investigation, crooks targeting West Side elites, and the unusual Gallagher widow case. Two stories reflect city life and intrigue among wealth and power.
